video format mentioned above.

DIGITAL AUDIO

DIGITAL AUDIO

Examples:

@@

If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region Code

number is loaded, "REGION CODE ERROR!" appears
on the TV screen and playback cannot start.

• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VODs or SVCDs,
their actual operation may be different from what is

explained in this manual. This is due to the disc
programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of
this system.

SACD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and

damage the speakers.

Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape
(other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm (43/4 inches or 31/8

inches) in diameter) cannot be played back.

About MP3/JPEG discs

Playable MP3/JPEG discs and files

• Discs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable
(except discs recorded in the "packet write" format

(UDF format)).

• Discs recorded in the multi-session format are also
playable.

• Files with an extension of ".mp3," ".jpg" or ".jpeg"
(extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters

mixed are also acceptable) are playable.

Notes on MP3/JPEG discs and files

• A disc may not be played, or reading it may take a long
time depending on its recording conditions or

properties.

• The time needed for reading varies with the number of
groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.

• If a character other than single byte English characters
is used in the file name of an MP3/JPEG file, the track/

file name will not be displayed correctly.

• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3
Control screen, and the order of files/groups displayed

on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that
of files/folders displayed on PC's monitor screen.

• In the case of MP3 discs, since groups/tracks are
played in alphabetical order, an off-the-shelf MP3 disc

may be played in an order different from that indicated
on the label attached to the disc.

• Playing an MP3 file including a still image may take a
long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until

playing starts. If playing starts, the elapsed time may
not be displayed correctly.

• This system does not handle the ID3 tag of the MP3
file.

• For an MP3 file, a disc with a sampling frequency of

44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is
recommended.

• This system can play a baseline JPEG file, excluding
monochromatic JPEG files.

• This system can play JPEG data taken with a digital
camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for
Camera File System) standard (when a function is

applied such as the automatic rotation function of a
digital camera, data goes beyond the DCF standard,

so the image may not be displayed).

• If data has been processed, edited and restored with
PC image editing software, the data may not be

displayed.

• This system cannot play animations such as MOTION
JPEG, or still images (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, and

image data with sound.

• The resolution of 640 x 480 is recommended for JPEG
files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more

than 640 x 480, display may take a long time. An
image with a horizontal resolution of more than 2,400

pixels cannot be displayed.

DVD AUDIO
A DVD AUDIO consists of "groups" and each group

may be divided into "tracks".
Some discs include a "bonus group" that requires a

VCD, SVCD and CD consist of "tracks".
In general, each track has its own track number.
(On some discs, each track may also be further

divided by indexes.)

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

MP3 [JPEG] discs
On an MP3 [JPEG] disc, each still picture

(material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks [Files[
are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also

include other folders, creating hierarchical folder
layers.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of
a disc and manages folders by "groups"

I_ Up to 99 groups

(1_ Group _-< Group _/

[T_ileCkI [T_ilck_ Group3 Group 4 Group5

This unit can recognize up to 150 tracks [files[ per
group and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850

files in total). Since the unit ignores the tracks
[files] whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the

groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they
cannot be played back.

• Ifthere is any type of files other than MP3 [JPEG]
files in a folder, those files are also counted in the

total file number.
